In about 10 minutes I'm leaving work to go home and pack my bags for the trip to Italy. Plane leaves in six hours with me and my fantastic GF on board.
Short itinerary... Tomorrow will feature a visit to the Ferrari museum in Maranello, Friday day we will be looking at Brescia and eating great food. Friday evening we go to pick up the rest of the pack. Sat + Sun are race days. Monday we go to Venice and see what all the fuss is about.
This years Supermoto of nations is held in northern Italy at a track called Franciocorta between Bergamo and Brescia.
I'm going as part supporter and part Team Sweden official. It will be a blast.
The Swedish team consists of Jocke Engström (FS650), Ola Eifrem (RMZ450) and Christian Nilsson (YZF450). Jocke is one of the 'Berg backed riders here in Sweden and his bike is no way behind the world champ bikes. He won the open (unlimited) class this year. Ola should have won the 450 class but a rear flat and a blown engine earlier cost him the title, he is sooo fast. Christian only got a 6th (450) this year but has a year behind him filled with crashes and lot of bad luck. When things work out he is rrrreally fast. Last year we finished 6th, the goal this year is to improve that.
Will try yo get lots and lots of pictures to show you guys later next week.
One final Q, hope some of you have the A :wink:
Where are the yank team?? Chicken ??
